I used to read quite a lot of fiction but these days I only tend to read explicitly spiritual books; I think I've had just about enough of them for the time being, though
The stuff I used to read tended to be of the gritty, awfully serious variety (typical guy-stuff - we tend to go for the gloomy books, apparently), but now I'm getting a hankering for some fiction that's all romantic, poetic, and life-affirming - anyone got any suggestions?
